1950 Map of Highmore

About this map

Highmore serves as the central hub of this prairie landscape, mapped during a period of postwar development in the Missouri River Basin. The town is situated along the Chicago and North Western railroad line, which dictates the layout of the region's transport and commerce. Outside the town center, the map reveals an agricultural and educational landscape, featuring the State College Substation and the rural Lincoln Sch to the northwest. The terrain is marked by numerous depressions and small water bodies typical of the glaciated plains, while the presence of the Highmore Airport and several Windmill sites speaks to the infrastructure supporting this Hyde County community. Local genealogy is anchored by the Highmore Cem located just south of the main settlement.
